@PatrickTBrown31@Weather_West@RogerPielkeJr That’s the wrong question.
If you are truly wanting to understand what science is saying, you need to ask: “can I truly draw any scientific conclusions from this data? What assumptions am I endorsing? How can I minimize bias from this data? Is more information is needed?”
@GriffinsThink@CollinRugg Agreed. This looks significantly smaller than the footage in Portugal. Furthermore his decent down the wave is much shorter in duration than the Portugal footage. That is probably the best proxy for height given the limitations of video observation.
@MatthewWielicki This looks exactly like the 10/24/2021 event, that produced the wettest day on record in Sacramento. (I remember well as I was pumping water furiously out of my backyard.) Save the placement of the storm being an estimated couple hundred miles north and west.
@cartermurphy218@tknep3 Rather than a gradient this should be a dichotomous survey. “Boring” and “not boring.”. As such, Most of the Midwes, south, and mid Atlantic would fall into the boring category. The northwest, west coast, Rocky Mountains and north east would fall into “not boring”
@wildland_zko@sfchronicle Awesome to hear and see you speaking out sensibly to insensible, polarization. We need more of this and less cancel culture when professionals like you, have thoughts that challenge political narratives.
@Weather_West Thanks for the response!
What is your assessment of data on the incidence of major wildfire initiation outside of red flag warning events?
@TomANelson How about asinine political policies like banning sales of gas vehicles in vunerable CA where natural disasters are bound to happen? How do you rapidly refuel millions of electric vehicles in critical evac situations?
@buffalogammpa@CreativelyOn@nettermike Multi factorial—-online shopping + retail theft in blue states + minimum wage mandates in blue states. CA is the poster child
leftist ideals + neoliberalism x humanity= post-progressive dystopia
